Nord: Link Safety Checker — Privacy Policy

Nord: Link Safety Checker is published by BED EMPREENDIMENTOS LTDA. It lets you inspect a web address before opening its website. This page explains what happens to an address you check.

On your device

The app keeps up to 50 recent checks, including the addresses you entered and their results, in local app storage. You can delete an entry in History or clear the whole list from About. Camera and photo access are used only when you choose to scan a code. The app does not upload your photos or camera frames.

Online checks

When you check a link, the full address is sent over an encrypted connection to our app service. The service compares it with a locally cached feed of verified phishing reports from PhishTank. It does not open the destination website. The service does not save a log of the addresses you check. A missing match or unavailable feed is reported as unknown, not safe.

The service stores a random installation identifier and its public signing key to reject forged or replayed requests. It also stores short-lived request nonces and daily AI usage counts to protect the service and limit misuse. These records are separate from your local history. We do not use them for advertising or tracking across apps.

AI explanations

If you choose “Explain this link,” our service sends the address host and path, the source status and your selected language to the Gowalk AI gateway. Query parameters and fragments are omitted from the AI request. The generated explanation may be inaccurate and cannot certify a link. We do not send the full checked address to the AI gateway, and we do not use AI explanations for advertising.

Introduction screens

When the app shows its introduction, it loads the screens from our service at the app's own web address. Requests carry your language, the app identifier, flow and platform. The introduction needs no account or purchase.

Version 1.1 builds 8 and later check whether the App Store country is Russia and whether active cellular service is available. Both results remain on your device. Only when both are confirmed does the introduction request include one success marker, named with this app's App Store identifier. Otherwise that marker is omitted. The checks are collected once in memory per process when introduction screens are needed. The marker is sent only to our introduction service; the app does not add it to analytics or save a separate report. It does not establish your identity or intent.

The same observations can qualify a first-launch invitation to rate the app. The app remembers that this one-time opportunity was handled; declining or dismissing it does not affect any feature. Accepting requests the system's review sheet, which the store may suppress. Existing users are not offered another invitation after updating. Earlier builds sent individual storefront, cellular and installed-app observations. Some also sent device, receipt-URL and provisioning-profile observations. Build 5 omitted these readings and invitations. Builds 8 and later do not check which other apps are installed and do not send any of these individual observations.

Your choices

You can use local address clues even when an online check is unavailable. You can clear recent checks in About. To ask about access to, or deletion of, server-side installation records, use the Support form. We may need information that lets us identify the installation. Removing the app removes its local history; server records require a separate request. We retain server records needed to operate and protect the service until they are removed under our retention and deletion process.

If you contact Support, its form receives the name, reply address and message you choose to provide. The message is delivered privately to our support team so we can respond to your request. Do not put passwords or secret link tokens in a support message.
